RAF Police Associates

This website is nothing to do with the organisation known as the RAF Police Association although I am currently a member. It may feature Association members on its pages and is used by a large number of RAF Police Association members in preference to the new RAF Police Association website purchased at great cost using the members' money without their prior approval. It should be noted that many links on the expensive "official" site are to this site, especially on the memorial page.

Over 600 members do not have computer access but have to share the cost of the new website, a sum over £2500. And even those with internet access, they weren't asked if they wanted to spend this money.  All started with a lie that has never been acknowledged.  Because of the complete lack of any apology to the members from those involved in this debacle, my membership will lapse at the end of the year as membership of the Association is not worth £12.50 a year, £16.50 if you don't have a computer and you want Provost Parades, and absolutely nothing has changed from when 3 of us were suspended for raising our concerns. The same people are still in power along with their supporters and although they technically did not break the Association's rules, they acted in a totally immoral and unethical way and refuse to admit it and as a result ripped the heart out of the Association.  In addition it continues in the Griff magazine, both last year and this year  where there have been lies and abuse about the three of us, especially me and the Association seem perfectly happy to publish this libel without any reprimand to individuals.
 Changes to the rules are "slipped" in without approval so there is no change in the way it is being run. And even motions at the AGM are subject to censorship and comment from the Chairman.

As a founder member, LVP and former trustee it is a shame a few members have lost the way from what we set up the Association to be all those years ago.  A crying shame.

This website is provided, and has been provided by me personally for 19 years, as a link for RAF Police Association members, serving and past members of the RAF Police and Provost branch and associated trades and groups as well as for non RAF personnel to maintain contact and provide a service.

It is the site formally known as the RAF Police Association website.

The Cenotaph Parade this year. Due to an 'oversight ' by the RBL anyone wishing to attend this year's Act of Remembrance should get their personal details to John Walton as a matter of urgency so that we can attend.

A full and comprehensive list of all the RAFP archives including Provost Parade has been completed by John Curtis and placed on this web site. Access is limited to trade and ex-trade. For access, email the Webmaster with your service details.

One current phone scam involves an automated message that starts: "This is Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs. We have been trying to reach you to let you know we are filing a law suit against you." The message is then said to provide a list of options, such as: "To speak to your case officer, press one". If you've received a call from someone claiming to be from HMRC encouraging you to provide bank account or personal details for alleged tax debts, in exchange for 'tax advice' or a refund, you should first attempt to verify the caller's ID. If you're unable to do that, the best course of action is to hang up. If you believe you've been contacted by a fraudster, you may want to get in touch with HMRC via its official website, while also reporting the incident to Action Fraud. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/phones/2016/06/warning-fake-hmrc-calls-on-the-rise---what-to-do-if-youve-been-targeted

Marriage Allowance lets you transfer £1,100 of your Personal Allowance to your husband, wife or civil partner - if they earn more than you. This reduces their tax by up to £220 in the tax year (6 April to 5 April the next year). To benefit as a couple, you (as the lower earner) must have an income of £11,000 or less.  You can get Marriage Allowance if all the following apply: you’re married or in a civil partnership you don’t earn anything or your income is under £11,000 your partner’s income is between £11,001 and £43,000 Full details here https://www.gov.uk/marriage-allowance-guide/how-it-works

Full details here: including lists of those who took part in 1953 and 1977 Jubilees I have found a video on YouTube of the day which briefly shows a few RAFP but reveals we had an Air Force in those days with a large number of different aircraft. How things have changed. I watched the 4 Vulcan scramble featured on the video in slow time to try and identify the fin numbers and was delighted to see that one of them is XM594 which survives and rusts away at Newark Air Museum. The other numbers were too blurred to make out. The video is called HM The Queen Reviews the RAF and it is in colour. Al Knowler  www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x9S18whxus
